Summary

I’m bringing you some of the best insights from the past month’s newsletter—curated travel tips, trends, and ideas that deserve a deeper dive. If you’ve ever felt the sting of travel FOMO, wondered about the latest digital nomad visas, or wanted a better way to pick your next destination without overcomplicating it, this one’s for you. You’ll get my take on the antidote to travel FOMO that might change your mindset, what this new visa to an exciting destination means for remote workers, and why tourist taxes are becoming more common (and who it really impacts). You’ll also learn a simple strategy for choosing your next destination, hear about my personal mantra for the year and how it’s influencing my mindset and travels for 2025, and I’ll leave you with a powerful question to inspire your next move. What’s your phrase for the year? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you’ll share what it means to you by sending me an audio message.
